NSF Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowships (EAR-PF)
PROGRAM SOLICITATION
NSF 07-596
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsf07596/nsf07596.htm
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):

General Information
Program Title:
EAR Postdoctoral Fellowships (EAR-PF)
Synopsis of Program:
The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) awards Postdoctoral Fellowships
to highly qualified investigators within 3 years of obtaining their
PhD to carry out an integrated program of independent research and
education. The research and education plans of each fellowship must
address scientific questions within the scope of EAR disciplines.
The program supports researchers for a period of up to 2 years with
fellowships that can be taken to the institution or national facility
of their choice. The program is intended to recognize young
investigators of significant potential, and provide them with
experience in research and education that will establish them in
leadership positions in the Earth Sciences community. Because the
fellowships are offered only to postdoctoral scientists early in
their career, doctoral advisors are encouraged to discuss the
availability of EAR fellowships with their graduate students early in
their doctoral programs. Fellowships are awards to individuals, not
institutions, and are administered by the Fellows.

REVISION NOTES
In furtherance of the President's Management Agenda, NSF has
identified programs that will offer proposers the option to utilize
Grants.gov to prepare and submit proposals, or will require that
proposers utilize Grants.gov to prepare and submit proposals.
Grants.gov provides a single Government-wide portal for finding and
applying for Federal grants online.
In response to this program solicitation, proposers may opt to submit
proposals via Grants.gov or via the NSF FastLane system.
This program solicitation has been updated to reflect the following revisions:
* Award amount and structure have changed to increase
the annual stipend and to create a separate benefits allowance that
will allow flexibility in procuring health insurance and other
benefits in response to varying institutional policies for
postdoctoral fellows. See Section III on Award Information.
* PI eligibility limitations have been changed to allow
for interruptions in or part-time periods of postdoctoral training
(e.g., for parental leave). Eligibility still allows for a maximum of
three years of postdoctoral training prior to proposal submission but
extends the potential time from degree to five years. See Section IV
on Eligibility Information.
* Proposal submission requirements have been updated
to require signature from the sponsoring scientist on the letter(s)
of commitment and to incorporate current guidance on budget line
items. See Section V on Proposal Preparation and Submission
Instructions.
Due to the unique nature of these proposals, submission via FastLane
is strongly encouraged.
